 Gawd- modern online shopping is just a minefield now. All selling the same (probably shitty) product.

 Hey nerds, how do you calibrate mentally with respect to what you might call papers with high "fi...

I feel like usually political/social issues are a top-down issue, where the people in power have an interest in keeping the status-quo. But most of the time, it is subconsciously.

I would find it important for people to use their own time and power, however small, to bubble up the issue within their own departments, and create metrics to track/show it is a problem locally, and find ways to improve them.

I find that people in power are also usually pretty busy and stressed as well, but also willing to accept help and stamp good plans if someone else is willing to execute them.

 @ccf56f0a I usually call this "The evolution of Trust" -  https://ncase.me/trust/

I guess doing it with strangers on the internet does not really give you much, but I find important showing friends random acts of kindness from time to time, and accept people make mistakes.

Oh gosh- where can I get one? 
 When I got my first phone, I used to be afraid of having the phone near my head when I slept.

I used to believe that the radiation would give me brain cancer or something.

Welp- nevermind. A friend offered me space in the main hotel. 
 Can anyone else not get into TikTok/shorts-like content?

It's not just me, right? I get nauseate...

They can be funny, but I feel my brain draining into nothingness if I watch more than 3 shorts in a row. 
 No hotel for MFF. Not sure I'll be going anyway since PTO is lacking as it is. 🤷‍♂️ 
 @7223e3d5 Welp- No MFF hotel for me either. :(

I might have to find alternative plans. 
 @a0978c0c Thank you for your input. 

That seems to be doing mostly the same thing with channels, expect there is no error handling. :/

I am just surprised how something I would think is a pretty common pattern for doing multiple work at the same time seems so complicated in Golang. 
 #Golang developers: I want to make 10 web requests in parallel. Is this really the best way to do something like this?

This looks very verbose and error prone. In C#, I would have used `Task.WhenAll`.

I remember once asking for much COBRA cost, when I was looking to quit my last job.

It was more than my rent per month. 

It is inverse job security, where you are tied to your employer.
